Will this work in Uganda and with a travel hairdryer that is 1875watts?

Yes, but make sure that you set the input voltage switch on the hair dryer to 240V when using it in Uganda.

Uganda uses 240V and the same plugs as the UK: this will work in Uganda. As to the hair dryer: that will depend on the circuit you use. To get the full wattage you need a 7.5 Amp minimum circuit. I suspect the normal circuits will be 5 Amps (the most typical) so you won't get the 1875 Watts. But also check the hair dryer as it may have a 240V setting to accommodate the local voltage and give better performance. The adapter does not step the voltage down so the hair dryer will have to or it will likely burn out.

This converter will work as long as the hair dryer wattage is less than 1875 watts.

The dryer is dual voltage but I think you still need an adaptor appropriate for England.

It will depend on the electricity in South Africa . If it is also 110, then you should be fine.

You could, but remember it is only good for small devises i. e. electric razor, tooth brush. Do not try to plug in a curling iron or hair dryer. Hair dryers are 800 watts this transformer is capable of only 150 watts. When going to Europe you cannot use any heating device on their system from the USA.Cell phone and computer chargers will operate in Europe using just an adapter.

It would work only if your hair dryer is designed for multi-voltage. This adapter is not a voltage converter.

I can't speak to either on personal experience. Specific locations may vary within a country. Try <www.walkabouttravelgear.com> as one source of information for adapters world wide. Refer to their " world-wide electrical index". Do be sure to check your appliances for compatibility with 220V power. That is a universal in Africa. Most new appliances are, but will burn up if they are not. Transformers and converters are available, and not cheap for reliable ones.

Thank you for your question. You can't use this for the hair dryer because this is until 35 w. So I checked a good one for you. We recommend the following goods for a heat instrument. NichiAkira travel industry converter heat instrument for My Pet series KNP-155 (japan import) ASIN: B00131X9EE I hope that it is helpful for you. Thank you.

No. This converter is only for 100Watts. Your hairdryer needs probably 1000-1500 Watts. I have now clue about curling irons, but I assume it also needs more than 100 W. Look on the curling iton. It's power needs to be stated on it. You would need a stronger converter for your intended uses. Type in "converter" and the Watts you need and add 30-50% for safety in Amazon. The converter you would need will be too large for travelling!

Hi, ACUPWR (TM) Plug Kit allows you to take this hair dryer to any country in the world ( not including North America )

Last summer, I used two of these to power up and charge all my dual voltage appliances. I used them in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. No problems! I found the hotel-provided hairdryers to be very unsatisfactory and was so glad I had brought my own.

This will wok in Kenya where most of the power is 220 volt, 50 Hz. I don't know about Tanzania?

Yes. Just remember to change the settings if you can on the appliance. I could plug in and use my blowdryer and curling irons, but they ended up burning up after I got home because of the wattage difference and I had forgotten to switch them over to international settings.

If the power is 220 to 240 then the answer is yes, provided you have the proper adapter. We actually have two one for the US and one for Europe. This is an excellent Hair Dryer.

I have not used this in Africa but plan to use this in France in June. Dual voltage is important. I think it will work.

Depends on what part of Asia. Some parts have 220 volts which will fry that adapter. Other areas have slightly less than here and usually enough to drive a hairdryer, but it may not operate that device as powerfully as you want. Check the outlets with a voltmeter or ask the people there, before you plug in anything!

It should since the light doesn't pull a lot of amps. I'm in Austria right now and using mine to charge my laptop, my Nook, and iPhones. I also use it for my curling iron......but you can't use it with a blow dryer. Our friends here did that a few days ago and burned up her hair dryer and tripped the hotel breaker. :D
